Product Description
From Amazon.com
In its sixth season, Cheers introduced its second major--and most significant--cast change. Following the events of season 5, Sam (Ted Danson) returns from his aborted around-the-world boat trip to find the old gang gone, Carla (Rhea Perlman) and Woody (Woody Harrelson) wearing uniforms more fit for a barbershop quartet, and a tough new boss who reportedly "eats live sharks for breakfast." The new boss, Rebecca (Kirstie Alley, probably best known at the time for her appearance in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and later to anchor such series as Veronica's Closet and Fat Actress), grudgingly hires back Sam, but has him positively befuddled with her resistance to his masculine wiles. She's not as tough as she seems, however, getting weak in the knees at the thought or sight of her corporate boss, Evan Drake (Tom Skerritt).
After the Diane debacle, the irony of the sixth season is that wedding bells are in the air. Carla is on the verge of hitching up with her Boston Bruins boyfried, Eddie LeBec (Jay Thomas), until a string of bad luck threatens to tear apart the "two most superstitious people in the world." Then Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) is the victim of a prank that turns serious when he decides to dump live-in psychologist-lover Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) in order to "pursue the fair Rebecca." Other events of the season include Sam as a rapping sportscaster, Sam and Woody being sold in a charity auction, Woody entering a romance with an older woman while dressed up as Mark Twain, and another showdown with Gary's Old Town Tavern. Cheers missed Shelley Long, but it remained a high-quality show; her career missed Cheers infinitely more. --David Horiuchi
Description
It's the cozy little Boston bar where everybody knows your name - welcome to Cheers - the Emmy Award-winning, smash-hit television series that kept the laughs uncorked for 11 years. It's a new beginning for the bar - and for the gang - in Cheers: The Complete Sixth Season. After selling the watering hole to a large corporation six months earlier, Sam Malone (Ted Danson) is back from "retirement" - and looking for a job. Holding his employment hopes in her hand is the bar's new manager, the acerbic and neurotic Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley). But still hanging around - and ready to watch the Malone-Howe fireworks - are the hilarious Cheers staff and patrons: Carla (Rhea Perlman), Woody (Woody Harrelson), Cliff (John Ratzenberger), Norm (George Wendt), and Frasier (Kelsey Grammer). It's a brilliant sixth season, with 25 uproarious episodes and liters and liters of laughs in this classic TV comedy sitcom!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Cheers 6th Season,
This review is from: Cheers: Season 6 (DVD)
I am huge fan of Cheers and season #6 just add fuel to my fire for wanting more of this series. I was not big fan of the show early on when Shelly Long was on the show.
4.0 out of 5 stars
a good season, but far from the best,
By Quilombo "soul-flyer" (the great white north) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cheers: Season 6 (DVD)
I would actually like to give this 3 1/2 stars, and I rounded up to 4 because, well, this is Cheers.Season 6 is the first season for Kirstie Alley's character Rebecca Howe. While there are some classic episodes (eg Home Is The Sailor, Paint Your Office, Bidding On The Boys), there are some mediocre ones as well. It takes a couple of seasons for Rebecca to truly hit her groove. If you are not a fan of Rebecca, I would hold off on buying Season 6 until you've seen Seasons 7 and/or 8.

Just not as funny,
By
This review is from: Cheers: Season 6 (DVD)
After watching season 1-6 in order it was not only disappointing that Diane was no longer on the show, but the entire season 6 just didn't make me laugh very often. It had it's moments, but far too few. It seemed obvious the creator/writers were unsure what to do with the new character(Rebecca). I know the series gets better, and I can't wait to watch season 7.Any long running series will have a hiccup. Unfortunately with Cheers it was all of season 6.
